 Monday mama had to work, bus pass in her purse
 She ain't got no check comin' on the first
 Summertime and you know it's no school
 So we had to keep it cool
 Hit the community pool by ourselves (solo)
 Me my lil' cousin, lil' bro and sis went
 My sis in the jiff, bust a run, took a dip
 Cousin took a sit, said, niggas don't swim
 My brother said nothin', just motioned me to him
 Only ten, said what's up, he said
 I don't want my butt, bro
 I only want a fin
 Then I laughed, pushed him in
 Watched him swim I was chillin'
 Fifteen later, heard the laugh of a villain
 Ain't no such thing as a mermaid, nigga
 You just wanna be an Ariel, you a princess
 Nah, I'm a scuba dive, be a mermaid apprentice
 Then he hit him before the kid could even start another sentence
 Damage done, label weird, see the tears through his grimace
 They tried to tell him what he can't be
 How dare you try and tell a nigga what he can't be

 Pull up, hands up, shut up, cool
 I've been robbin' niggas since I was back in school
 Now surprised, nigga, guess what, I'm robbin' you
 Legs shot, grab the bag, bust a move
 Pop out the building hit the Chevy with the crew
 When the window get jammed, we be shootin' out the roof
 We ain't got no tail now, everything cool
 So I shout out to my driver, make a right up at the pool
 Quickest way is cross the bridge, do exactly as we planned
 We was skirting, we was certain, we'd be Gucci when we land
 Oh, shit!
 Long blink, then I remembered the hit
 Car hit a spin, hit the guardrail, split
 Now we all over the edge, four of us in the whip
 Tony got out, Bennett got out, Black got out
 I got stuck, fuck
 Seatbelt caught around my ankle or somethin'
 The vehicle sunk
 Then Black came back, started pullin' me up

 Black has seen it on the web, companies with tails for sale
 7k to be a merman, finnta have to go to jail
 Finnta have to hit a lick with idiots like in the past
 Fuck that, SCUBA certified pass
 Black can feel elsewhere, almost in his grasp
 Possible except for one obstacle the cash
 Ain't been drivin' no more, you know, after the crash
 Just been in the Y, swimmin' laps, drownin' memories
 Half a week, temp job, daytime Hennessy
 It's messin' with him chemically
 Depression went and set in
 That's a strong hold mentally
 Still be gettin' hit up for the jobs
 Saved John, then he killed the next person he robbed
 Ah, clear your head, take a walk
 Nighttime, beach jog, quiet at the dock
 Not tonight, waves rollin', hear a sound in the distance
 Overturned jet ski
 Black's shirts off his back to assist him, it's the
 Black Merman
 The jet ski belonged to Tyson Omizusu
 Esteemed silicone and plastics manufacturer
 He specialized in products used for aquatic exploration
 He was more than grateful
